“The Rally to Restore Sanity and/or Fear” Gets 4 Daytime Emmy® Noms

Who’s honoring Stephen Colbert and Jon Stewart now?
The Academy of Television Arts and Sciences! “The Rally to Restore Sanity and/or Fear” received four Daytime Emmy® Nominations from the Academy, Including:

Well, technically, Jon and Stephen aren’t nominees for the the last two, but are listed as producers, hosts and writers on the Special Class Special and Writing categories. And, coincidentally, Comedy Central’s total number of nominees this year is exactly 4.

Here’s the list of nominated shows in these four categories. I’ve included the nominees for the “Rally” – nice to see Paul Dinello on the lists!

YES!!! Way to go, boys!! Tip of the hat to both of you and your crew for a great job on an awesome event (which looked very well done performance- and tech-wise on TV when I watched it back in October)! If you don’t sweep through all of your categories with awards, I will wag my entire body at the whole Academy!

Oh, I just re-read the list of nominees! Jon and Stephen are up against OPRAH in the last category! C’mon Jon & Stephen, you just have to beat OPRAH!!! You have to win that award, just so you can say, “… and we beat Oprah!”

I was at the Rally, but couldn’t see the stage, because of that huge white tent with the cameras that were right in front of it. So- mixed emotions that the guys inside were doing such good work, they can win an award for it.

It would be really cool for Jon and Stephen to win an award together again. The last time would’ve been 2005? Or 2004?
